DPD Observation Receiver
AD6641
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD6641 is a 250 MHz bandwidth digital predistortion
(DPD) observation receiver that integrates a 12-bit 500 MSPS
ADC, a 16k × 12 FIFO, and a multimode back end that allows
users to retrieve the data through a serial port (SPORT), the SPI
interface, a 12-bit parallel CMOS port, or a 6-bit DDR LVDS
port after being stored in the integrated FIFO memory. It is optimized for outstanding dynamic performance and low power
consumption and is suitable for use in telecommunications
applications such as a digital predistortion observation path
where wider bandwidths are desired. All necessary functions,
including the sample-and-hold and voltage reference, are
included on the chip to provide a complete signal conversion
solution.
The on-chip FIFO allows small snapshots of time to be captured
via the ADC and read back at a lower rate. This reduces the
constraints of signal processing by transferring the captured
data at an arbitrary time and at a much lower sample rate. The
FIFO can be operated in several user-programmable modes. In
the single capture mode, the ADC data is captured when signaled via the SPI port or the use of the external FILL± pins. In
the continuous capture mode, the data is loaded continuously
into the FIFO and the FILL± pins are used to stop this operation.

The data stored in the FIFO can be read back based on several
user-selectable output modes. The DUMP pin can be asserted
to output the FIFO data. The data stored in the FIFO can be
accessed via a SPORT, SPI, 12-bit parallel CMOS port, or 6-bit
DDR LVDS interface. The maximum output throughput
supported by the AD6641 is in the 12-bit CMOS or 6-bit DDR
LVDS mode and is internally limited to 1/8
input sample rate. This corresponds to the maximum output
data rate of 62.5 MHz at an input clock rate of 500 MSPS.
The ADC requires a 1.9 V analog voltage supply and a differential clock for full performance operation. Output format options
include twos complement, offset binary format, or Gray code. A
data clock output is available for proper output data timing. Fabricated on an advanced SiGe BiCMOS process, the device is
available in a 56-lead LFCSP and is specified over the industrial
temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This product is protected
by a U.S. patent.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High Performance ADC Core.
Maintains 65.8 dBFS SNR at 500 MSPS with a 250 MHz input.
2. Low Power.
Consumes only 695 mW at 500 MSPS.
3. Ease of Use.
On-chip 16k FIFO allows the user to target the high performance ADC to the time period of interest and reduce the
constraints of processing the data by transferring it at an
arbitrary time and a lower sample rate. The on-chip reference and sample-and-hold provide flexibility in system
design. Use of a single 1.9 V supply simplifies system power
supply design.
4. Serial Port Control.
Standard serial port interface supports configuration of the
device and customization for the user’s needs.
5. 1.9 V or 3.3 V SPI and Serial Data Port Operation.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The on-chip FIFO allows small snapshots of time to be captured
via the ADC and read back at a lower rate. This reduces the
constraints of signal processing by transferring the captured
data at an arbitrary time and at a much lower sample rate.
FIFO OPERATION
The capture of the data can be signaled through writes to the
SPI port by pulsing the FILL± pins. The transaction diagram
shown in Figure 36 illustrates the loading of the FIFO.
At Event 1, the FIFO is instructed to fill either by asserting the
FILL± pins or via a write to the SPI bits. FILL± pin operation
can be delayed by a programmable fill hold-off counter so that
the FIFO data can be surrounding a fill event. The FIFO then
loads itself with data. The number of samples of data is
determined by the SPI fill count register (0x104). This is an 8bit register with values from 0 to 255. The number of samples
placed in the FIFO is determined by the following equation:
Number of Samples = (FILL_CNT + 1) × 64
After the FIFO has begun filling at Event 2, the AD6641 asserts
a full flag to indicate that the FIFO has finished capturing data
and enters a wait state in which the device waits to receive the
dump instruction from the DUMP pin or the SPI.
After the data has been shifted (Event 4), the FIFO goes into the
idle state and waits for another fill command. During the idle
state, the ADC can optionally be placed into standby mode to
save power. If the ADC powers down in the idle state, initiating
a fill operation (Event 1) powers up the ADC. In this mode, the
ADC waits for settle count cycles (0x105, 0x106) before capturing
the data. Settle count is programmable from the SPI port and
1234
EVENTS
allows the analog circuitry to stabilize before taking data. An
intelligent trade-off between speed of acquisition and accuracy
can be made by using this register.
The data can be read back through any of the three output interfaces at a low data rate, which further saves power. If the SPI or
SPORT is used to read back the data, the interface can require
as few as three pins. A full flag and an empty flag are provided
to signal the state of the FIFO. The FIFO status register (0x10A)
in the SPI also allows this to be monitored via software.
Single Capture Mode
The FIFO can be placed into single capture mode by writing the
FIFO fill mode bits in the fill control register (0x101[3:2]) to 00.
In the single capture mode, the user initiates a capture either by
driving the FILL± pins high or by initiating a fill command
through the SPI port by writing the standby after fill bit
(0x101[0]). This powers up the ADC (if needed) after a
programmable amount of time as determined by the SPI settle
count registers (0x105, 0x106). If Bit 0 of the 0x101 register in
the SPI is set, the ADC returns to standby mode after the
capture is complete.
Fill Pin Timing
A fill of the FIFO can be initiated by asserting the differential
FILL± pins. When a pulse is detected on the FILL± pins, the
FIFO is filled.
Dump Pin Timing
A readback of the FIFO can be initiated by asserting the DUMP
pin. When a logic high is detected on the DUMP pin, the FIFO
data is available through the chosen interface.

SPORT Master Mode (Single Capture)
Details of the transaction diagram for serial master mode are
shown in Figure 39 for single capture mode with the SDO
output. Clock cycles are approximate because the fill and dump
signals can be driven asynchronously. In this example, SCLK is
derived from the master clock with a divide by 8 programmed
from the SPI.
Fill Pulse (1)
The FIFO captures data after a fill signal (high level) is detected
on the rising edge of the sampling clock. In synchronous operation, a valid high level is accomplished by adhering to the setup
and hold times specified. For nonsynchronous control, the fill
signal can be widened to accommodate two or more clock
cycles to guarantee capture of a high level. Fill count (0x104) is
reset on the rising edge of the clock and is incremented on
subsequent clock cycles only after the fill signal returns low.
A new fill signal at any point during the capture resets the
counter and begins filling the FIFO.
Empty Signal (2)
After the FIFO state machine has begun loading data, the empty
signal goes low 24 clock cycles after the fill signal was last
sampled high.
Full Signal (3)
The full signal indicates when the FIFO has been filled and is
driven high when the number of samples specified has been
captured in the FIFO, where
Number of Samples = (FILL_CNT + 1) × 64
The time at which the full signal goes high is based on
(FILL_CNT + 1) × 64 + 13 clock cycles after the fill signal was
last sampled high.

Dump Signal (4)—Transition to High
The dump signal initiates reading data from the FIFO. Dump is
enabled with a high level and should be initiated only after the
full signal goes high. The dump signal should be held high until
all data has been read out of the FIFO.
SCLK Signal (5)
The SCLK (serial clock) signal is configured as an output from
the device when in the master mode of operation. SCLK begins
cycling five ADC clock cycles after the dump signal is sampled
high and continues cycling up until one additional cycle after
the empty signal goes high. SCLK then remains low until the
next dump operation.
SDFS Signal (6)
The SDFS (serial data frame sync) signal is configured as an
output from the device when in the master mode of operation.
Frame synchronization begins 15 ADC clock cycles after the
dump signal is sampled.
Dump Signal (7)—Transition to Low
A dump signal transition to low is applied after data has been
read out of the FIFO.
Empty Signal (8)—Transition to High
The empty signal transitions to high after data has been output
from the FIFO based on the clock cycle count of (FILL_CNT +
1) × 64.
The transition occurs 76 ADC clock cycles after the last LSB(s)
of data have been output on the serial port.

Parallel Master Mode (Single Capture)
Details of the transaction diagram for parallel master mode are
shown in Figure 40 with the PD[11:0] output word. Clock cycles
are approximate because the fill and dump signals can be driven
asynchronously. In this example, PCLK± is derived from the
master clock with a divide by 8 programmed from the SPI.
Fill Pulse (1)
The FIFO captures data after a fill signal (high level) is detected
on the rising edge of the sampling clock. In synchronous operation, a valid high level is accomplished by adhering to the setup
and hold times specified. For nonsynchronous control, the fill
signal can be widened to accommodate two or more clock
cycles to guarantee capture of a high level. Fill count (0x104)
is reset on the rising edge of the clock and is incremented on

Number of Samples = (FILL_CNT + 1) × 64
The time at which the full signal goes high is based on
(FILL_CNT + 1) × 64 + 13 clock cycles after the fill signal was

Dump Signal (4)—Transition to High
The dump signal initiates reading data from the FIFO. Dump is
enabled with a high level and should be initiated only after the
full signal goes high. The dump signal should be held high until
all data has been read out of the FIFO.
PCLK± Signal (5)
The PCLK± (parallel clock) signal is configured as an output
from the device. PCLK± begins cycling 71 ADC clock cycles
after the dump signal is sampled high. PCLK± goes low after
the last data is read out of the FIFO and remains low until the
next dump operation.
PD[11:0] Signal (6)
The PD (parallel data) output provides 12 data bits (PD[11:0])
th
at a maximum rate of 1/8
of the sampling clock. Data begins
after two PCLK± cycles (assuming the dump signal has been
sampled).
Dump Signal (7)—Transition to Low
A dump signal transition to low is applied after data has been
read out of the FIFO.
Empty Signal (8)—Transition to High
The empty signal transitions to high after data has been output
from the FIFO based on the clock cycle count of (FILL_CNT +
1) × 64. The transition occurs nine clock cycles after the last
PCLK± rising edge.
Continuous Capture Mode
The FIFO can be placed into continuous capture mode by writing the FIFO fill mode bits in the fill control register (0x101[3:2])
to 01. In the continuous capture mode, data is loaded continuously into the FIFO and the FILL± pins pulsing high is used to
stop the operation. This allows the history of the samples that
preceded an event to be captured.

FIFO OUTPUT INTERFACES
The FIFO data is available through one of three interfaces. The
data can be output on the serial data port (SPORT), the SPI
port, or a 12-bit CMOS interface. The data port chosen must be
selected from the SPI port before the data is read from the FIFO.
Only one interface can be chosen at a time. The SPORT and SPI
interfaces are powered via the SPI_VDDIO pin and can support
either 1.9 V or 3.3 V logic levels.
SPORT Interface
The SPORT consists of a clock (SP_SCLK) and frame sync
(SP_SDFS) signal. The SP_SCLK and SP_SDFS signals are
output from the AD6641 when the SPORT is configured as
a bus master and are input to the device when it is configured
as a slave port.
Serial Data Frame (Serial Bus Master)
The serial data transfer is initiated with SP_SDFS. In master
mode, the internal serial controller initiates SP_SDFS after the
dump input goes high requesting the data. SP_SDFS is valid for
one complete clock cycle prior to the data shift. On the next
clock cycle, the AD6641 begins shifting out the data stream.
CMOS Output Interface
The data stored in the FIFO can also be accessed via a 12-bit
parallel CMOS interface. The maximum output throughput
supported by the AD6641 is in the 12-bit CMOS mode and is
internally limited to 1/8
Therefore, the output maximum output data rate is 62.5 MHz
th
of the maximum input sample rate.

at a 500 MSPS input sample rate. See Figure 3 for the parallel
CMOS mode output interface timing diagram.
LVDS Output Interface
The AD6641 differential outputs conform to the ANSI-644
LVDS standard on default power-up. This can be changed to a
low power, reduced signal option similar to the IEEE 1596.3
standard using the SPI. This LVDS standard can further reduce
the overall power dissipation of the device, which reduces the
power by ~39 mW. The LVDS driver current is derived on chip
and sets the output current at each output equal to a nominal
3.5 mA. A 100 Ω differential termination resistor placed at the
LVDS receiver inputs results in a nominal ±350 mV differential
or 700 mV p-p swing at the receiver.
The AD6641 LVDS outputs facilitate interfacing with LVDS
receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs that have LVDS capability
for superior switching performance in noisy environments.
Single point-to-point net topologies are recommended with a
100 Ω termination resistor placed as close to the receiver as
possible. No far-end receiver termination and poor differential
trace routing may result in timing errors. It is recommended
that the trace length be no longer than 24 inches and that the
differential output traces be kept close together and at equal
lengths.
The data on the LVDS output port is interleaved in a MSB/LSB
format. PCLK± is generated by dividing the ADC sample clock
by the programmed decimation rate (8 to 32, even divides). The
maximum rate of PCLK± is limited to 62.5 MHz.

AD6641
ANALOG INPUT AND VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The analog input to the AD6641 is a differential buffer. For
best dynamic performance, match the source impedances
driving VIN+ and VIN− such that common-mode settling
errors are symmetrical. The analog input is optimized to provide
superior wideband performance and requires that the analog
inputs be driven differentially. SNR and SINAD performance
degrades significantly if the analog input is driven with a singleended signal.
A wideband transformer, such as Mini-Circuits® ADT1-1WT,
can provide the differential analog inputs for applications that
require a single-ended-to-differential conversion. Both analog
inputs are self-biased by an on-chip reference to a nominal 1.7 V.
An internal differential voltage reference creates positive and
negative reference voltages that define the 1.5 V p-p fixed span
of the ADC core. This internal voltage reference can be adjusted
by means of an SPI control.
VREF
The AD6641 VREF pin (Pin 31) allows the user to monitor the
on-board voltage reference or provide an external reference
(requires configuration through the SPI). The three optional
settings are internal V
export V
, and import V

to this pin. VREF is internally compensated and additional
loading may impact performance.
CONFIGURATION USING THE SPI
Three pins define the SPI of the AD6641: SCLK, SDIO, and CSB
(see Tabl e 11 ). SCLK (a serial clock) is used to synchronize the
read and write data presented from and to the AD6641. SDIO
(serial data input/output) is a bidirectional pin that allows data
to be sent to and read from the internal memory map registers.
CSB (chip select) is an active low control that enables or disables
the read and write cycles.
Table 11. Serial Port Interface Pins
Pin Function
SCLK
Serial clock. Serial shift clock input. SCLK is used to
synchronize serial interface reads and writes.
SDIO
Serial data input/output. Bidirectional pin that serves
as an input or an output, depending on the instruction
being sent and the relative position in the timing frame.
CSB
Chip select (active low). This control gates the read and
write cycles.
The falling edge of the CSB pin, in conjunction with the rising
edge of the SCLK pin, determines the start of the framing. An
example of the serial timing can be found in Figure 43 (for
symbol definitions, see Tabl e 5).
CSB can be held low indefinitely, which permanently enables
the device; this is called streaming. CSB can stall high between
bytes to allow additional external timing. When CSB is tied
high, SPI functions are placed in high impedance mode.
During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted.
The first bit of the first byte in a serial data transfer frame indicates
whether a read command or a write command is issued. Data
follows the instruction phase, and its length is determined by
the W0 and W1 bits. All data is composed of 8-bit words.
The instruction phase determines whether the serial frame is a
read or write operation, allowing the serial port to be used both
to program the chip and to read the contents of the on-chip
memory. If the instruction is a read operation, the serial data
input/output (SDIO) pin changes direction from an input to an
output at the appropriate point in the serial frame.
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or in LSB first mode. MSB
first is the default mode on power-up and can be changed via
the SPI port configuration register. For more information about
this and other features, see the AN-877 Application Note,
